Mechaxil I2C Pros and Cons

| Bigger more robust connector type | Bigger footprint |
| Dual connector design both JST XH type or pinheader | Less common |
| Easier to crimp your own cables | |
| Same color coding as QWIIC | |
| Same wire size so it's easy to make hybrid cables | |
| Cheaper to manufacture |
